If I say "Expository Writing?" in my class, you will hear 32 voices each period in unison shout back "Explains!"

The essays were wonderfully descriptive explanations of life for 13 year olds. The visual aids that accompanied them were very cool and educational as well. Today I learned how to make Toddric's "double pigs in a blanket" as well as "how to keep a clean locker" from Sarah W.
